Fire Fighter Training lecture from the NIST and UL about the tactical considerations of ventilation. How does ventilation cause fires to grow and be pushed and what are the effects on hot gasses and searing temperatures that can be quickly increased or decreased depending on the way you combine suppression and ventilation.

A MUST watch for Fire Professional

General Public
For the average person with limited understanding of what this all means to you.By watching the time lines of these fires realize just how quickly temperatures get to thousands of degrees, and how thick smoke gets in minutes.

Re: Smoke Inhalation

We would like to open with, THANK YOU for the job you do.

Our greatest wish is that every fire fighter makes it home at the end of shift in the same condition they started in.

But we know that’s not always the case, and one of the biggest threats faced daily is SMOKE. You can’t wear a SCBA all the time, and we don’t have to tell you what inhaling even light smoke does to you over a few hours, or worse a lifetime of sucking smoke.

There is now an effective and affordable solution.

Whiffs / Xcaper masks filter and trap almost all the Carbon Monoxide, Acrolein, Hydrogen Cyanide, Hydrochloric Acid, and Particulate down to 3/10 of ONE MICRON

Additional Benefits: They cool the air as it passes through the filter, in light smoke they last up to 10 hours. They are easier to breathe through than a N95 paper filter mask.

Whiffs professional smoke masks are used throughout the USA by wildland and structural firefighters, as well as D.O.D. and private industry.

Using an old technology in a new way, these masks are based on Liquid Vapor Extraction used in the chemical industry to scrub emissions.
